H.R. 3998
Albuquerque, New Mexico, Federal Land Conveyance Act of 2014
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
on March 13, 2014
The bill would direct the General Services Administration (GSA) to sell a federal
property in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico, to the Amy Biehl High School
Foundation for its fair market value. CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would
increase offsetting receipts, a credit against direct spending; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures apply. We estimate that the net offsetting receipts from the sale would be
negligible. Enacting H.R. 3998 would not affect revenues.
H.R. 3998 would authorize GSA to sell an historic post office and courthouse in
downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. The legislation would require the designated
purchaser to cover any federal administrative costs associated with the sale. Proceeds
from the sale-probably about $50,000-would be deposited in the Federal Buildings
Fund and would be available to GSA, subject to future appropriation. In addition, GSA
currently receives about $1,200 a year under a 60-year lease to the foundation. By selling
the property, the government would forgo those receipts in future years.
H.R. 3998 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal
governments.
On February 20, 2014, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for S. 898, the Albuquerque,
New Mexico, Federal Land Exchange Conveyance Act of 2013, as ordered reported by
the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. Both bills contain similar
provisions, and their estimated costs are the same.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Matthew Pickford. The estimate was approved
by Theresa Gullo, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
